The Rockets are 3-22 in their last 25 games and showing no interest in playing defense. Houston has allowed an average of 120.3 points in regulation during its last 10 games. Washington is the sixth-most accurate field goal shooting team in the NBA. The Rockets rank last in scoring defense and defensive field goal percentage.

I don't expect the Rockets to suddenly get intense on defense after giving up 122 points to the Grizzlies in a 24-point loss on Sunday. The Over is 16-5 the past 21 times the Rockets have played on zero rest.

The Wizards are 1-6 in their last seven games. They aren't playing defense either. Washington has given up an average of 122 points in its last eight games discounting a 100-97 loss to the Knicks. The Over has cashed in nine of the Wizards' last 10 games.
